We're FINALLY home!

We just got home earlier this afternoon. Hooray! Vacation was SO nice while it lasted, but I'm ready to get back to normal everyday life.

Sorry everyone that I wasn't able to post pictures while we were at the cabin, but now I can post pictures.

So, since it looks like no one else is going to comment, I may as well tell you where I got my necklace. Yes, Rachel, most of the necklaces at Disney Land had Disney characters on it, but I didn't get it at Knott's Berry. Would you believe that I got it at Sea World?! I know. It seems really wierd to have that kind of necklace at Sea World, but that's where it was. I actually was going to get a hand blown glass dolphin necklace, but it was a little out of my price range, so I decided to get that. I love it.

We had a great time at the cabin. Yesterday we went to the White River. It was so special for my Mom because she used to go there camping once or twice a year for about 12 years as a kid. We even parked right where she used to camp. We tried to go fishing, but we didn't know that us kids' needed a license, so we only got Dad one. But I guess since it's on a Indian reservation, everyone has to get licenses. So, we just decided to walk along the river for a while. On the way back, there was a road block in the road. Apparently there were some drunk drivers, so we had to wait for a while while the police took care of them. But we finally got through, and went back to the cabin. After a while Dad, Hannah, Sarah and I went fishing, and once again caught nothing. Dad got a bite this time, but he was busy paying attention to Hannah and Sarah, so he missed it. Dad grilled hamburgers and hotdogs last night. It was a lot of fun. Dad's been so busy working that we never grill anymore. I cannot tell you how nice it's been to have Dad around this week. I miss him. He wakes up in the morning, gets in the shower, and leaves. He doesn't get home until about 5 or 6  at night, sits down on his bed, and works on all of his paperwork until about 8:30. I barely see him anymore. It's been so refreshing to have him around.

Friday night we roasted marshmallows. It was a lot of fun. The problem was that we bought marshmallows at Walmart, and they are HUGE! I'll post pictures later in this post. We could barely fit them into our mouthes. Last night we were going to roast more, (this time Mom bought smaller marshmallows) but it was really late, so we cheated. We made them in the microwave. I know, it's pathetic, but we didn't have any other choice.

This morning we went fishing for the last time. I don't know what's wrong, but for some reason we didn't catch one fish all week. Oh well. At least there's next time.

We left shortly before 11:00, and like I said, got here this afternoon. The trip home was ok, except for Salt River Canyon. That's the third time that I've gone through it, and I've gotten sick every time. Before we left last week, we dropped of Dad's work truck, and we had to go pick it up today. When we got here, my Grandma was here feeding the alpacas, so we got to see her. That was nice.

Well, here's the picutres.

Marshmallow roasting:




Isn't she so cute?!!!


This is a perfect picture to show how BIG the marshmallows are. David had no idea how to press the graham crackers together.


This is such a cool picture. The marshmallow was completely on fire.


Knott's Berry Farm:


This was a ride that went up and down, and you can tell that they loved it!




We got SO many sibling pictures.


This was the roller coaster that we went on a bazillion times.

This is a picture of us standing right between the two trees that Mom used to hang a hammock from. It was pretty special to get this picture.


Well, what do you think? Pretty fun, huh? Please comment and let me know what you think!
